Saudi Water Company Signs Deals to Operate Water Services, Environmental Sanitation

The Saudi National Water Company (NWC) signed two contracts worth $154 million with the private sector to operate water services and environmental sanitation in the central and eastern sectors merged under the company's umbrella in early March.

The company recently completed merging six sectors under its umbrella. It officially included the last four regions in the merger phase, namely al-Qassim, Hail, al-Jouf, and the Northern Borders.

The first contract was signed with Saudi al-Khorayef Alliance and French Veolia to operate and maintain the Riyadh region.

The second was signed with the Saudi Miahona Alliance, the French group Saur, and the Philippine company Manila Water to operate and maintain the Eastern Cluster.

NWC CEO Mohammed al-Mowkely said that one of the essential pillars of Vision 2030 is the welfare of citizens and the quality of services offered to them, which resulted in preparing the 2030 National Water Strategy.

"The National Water Company Strategy was accredited to prepare detailed plans to develop the level of water services in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with the participation of the private sector,” Mowkely said.

He revealed that NWC has fully completed restructuring the water services in the Kingdom by annexing 13 administrative regions to six sectors under the company's umbrella.
